Okay. So when I went to my old gym, the trainers were also salesmen, and they had a whole line of products they wanted to get us to buy.
So. After my first month of weightloss it turned out I had lost 10 pounds, and I was excited, until they did the little body fat 'machine/tool/whatever where you hold it and it tells you either the percentage or amount of fat in pounds you have on your body, i don't remember. I'm pretty sure it was by pounds.
It turns out only 5 pounds was fat :c and I wanted to cry. Because he said the rest was muscle and I was going to be skinny-fat.
My trainer said if I drank a protein shake after my workout that would have been probably closer to 7/8 pounds of fat.
anyway what i want to know is if that's true or if they were just selling something?
I want to lose this weight the healthy way, yknow? And that scared me to death.
Any input would be wonderful!
And if you do think the protein shakes or whatever, what do you use?
